David - your ad for Melaleuca

[Guest guest]

I looked into Melaleuca a short

time ago, and there’s no way I could ever use 35 points worth of stuff a

month. They just mail you stuff every

month even if you don’t want it. You

can’t buy just one or two things from them. Or maybe it’s different now. I’m sure there products are wonderful,

but I’d end up with a garage full of stuff that I can’t use. What about “Safer” products, or “Sun

and Earth” products – easy to get, right at the grocery store.

Carol, I'm not David, and I didn't see the ad for Melaleuca, but let

me reply to your note anyways..the 35 points is true, Mel wants

everybody signed up as a " preferred customer " to get in those 35

points every month, and that is the

agreement when somebody signs up as a " preferred customer " instead of

a " direct " customer. Preferred customers pay the discounted prices,

whereas direct customers pay list prices. The 35 points guarantees Mel

a volume to offset their lower prices. Now then, the automatic

shipments are for preferred customers who forget to place their

monthly orders. The Automatic shipments are personalized, ie you pick

the products and if you don't want to bother picking, they will assist

you by providing lists to pick from that satisfy the point total, and

you can change it an any time. The lists are there at sign up time. If

a preferred customer does not want to receive a shipment (including

automatic) for the month, all it takes is a phone call to Mel,

and it is not shipped (nor charged of course). I've had to do that a

couple of times and haven't seen anything resembling a penalty yet.

But, do that three months in a row (I think), and Mel kicks you down

to Direct status. As far as not being able to use the 35 points every

month, we are a family of two and don't seem to have any problem at

all with that. We just look at the Mel products as substitutes for

what we were buying at the store every month....ie we buy MelaPower

laundry soap instead of Tide, Diamond Brite instead of Cascade for the

dishwasher, LemonBrite instead of Joy for the " sink " , etc. My point

here is we are saving money every month over what we were purchasing

at the store, and the products are so much better it ain't funny. I

would hate to have to shift gears and revert back to the same " store

products " we used to use. We had similar feelings about the 35 points

at the beginning, but found that obstacle quite " over-comable " once we

started using the stuff and saving money on top of that. One more

thing, this is the only outfit I can find that makes a toothpaste

without flouride (they do sell another toothpaste with flouride too).

There may be some others still out there, but no stores within a 100

mile radius of me sells non-floridated toothpaste. I hope you look

back into Mel. I just hate to see anybody missing out on this stuff.

Hi Carol,

I'll email you offline because I don't think the group wants to see our individual posts.
